Amaretti GB Sandwich Cookies (Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free)
There is just something about a sandwich cookie that instantly makes it 10x more appealing 😂 And these ones screammm holiday in all the best ways. Best of all, they're gluten-free & dairy-free for all our allergy hunnies!
Here's what you'll need:
🎄 5 egg whites
🎄 Pinch of salt
🎄 5 cups almond flour
🎄 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
🎄 ½ tsp vanilla extract
🎄 2 tsp almond extract
🎄 ½ cup granulated sugar
🎄 ½ cup powdered sugar
🎄 ½ cup Original Granola Butter® (Sugar Cookie would also be incredible in this recipe!!)
Â
Here's what you'll do:
🎄 Preheat oven to 325F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
🎄 Beat the egg whites and salt together until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
🎄 Sift the almond flour and 1 ½ cups of granulated sugar into a bowl.
🎄 Add about ⅓ of the almond flour mixture to the egg whites, and use a spatula to gently fold it in.
🎄 Then, add in the vanilla extract and almond extract, quickly fold them in.
🎄 Add another ⅓ cup of the almond flour mixture to the egg whites and fold it in again.
🎄 Then add the remaining almond flour mixture and fold it in one last time (the cookie dough should be like a thick paste).
🎄 Scoop out mounds of the cookie dough and place them onto a plate with granulated sugar. Roll the scoops of cookie dough in the sugar, then use your hands to roll and round them into balls.
🎄 Drop the balls into a bowl of powdered sugar to completely and evenly coat them.
🎄 Place on the prepared baking sheet, and use your hand to lightly press each cookie.
🎄 Bake for 20-25 minutes.
🎄 Remove and let cool on a wire cooling rack.
🎄 Then, take half of the cookies, and spread ~1 tsp of the Granola Butter® on them. Then take the remaining cookies, and place them on top of the ones with GB to create cookie sandwiches 🤤🤤 Enjoy!
